Lying in a bid to prop Tsvangirai

backed regime change in Zimbabwe.
In the article, the authors vainly sought to denigrate the Central Intelligence Organisation through information the paper allegedly accessed under America’s Foreign Agents Registration Act. The story sought to paint the CIO as a destabilising factor in Zimbabwe and particularly around election time.
This has been a dominant theme around the issue of the so-called security sector reforms. The authors sought to “corroborate” that MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s treason charge was engineered by the CIO in cahoots with the Israeli, Ari Ben Menashe.
These attempts are plainly betrayed by Tsvangirai’s spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka’s comment in the article. Tamborinyoka was quoted saying, “The whole saga exposes the fact that the CIO is a vital cog in the Zanu-PF election machinery and it necessitates the need to vaccinate the next election from the excesses of this unpopular outfit.” The authors desperately wanted to pass the FARA papers as reliable and undisputed material, which proves that Tsvangirai was actually set up by Zimbabwe’s security organisation. What was lost to them was simply the historical truth that the Americans are masters of deception.
This is not the first time they had released such documents, but had constantly released untruthful documents to support their diabolical imperial shenanigans. According to uncontested High Court records, Tsvangirai personally chronicled how he established a business relationship with Ben Menashe’s Dickens and Madison-Canada without any interference from the CIO. In the treason trial recorded at the at the High of Court of Zimbabwe record number CRB 244/02, Tsvangirai conceded under cross examination that on October 22, 2001 at Hilton Hotel, Heathrow Airport, MDC-T party emissaries voluntarily contracted Dickens and Madison-Canada to “eliminate” President Mugabe.
Contrary to unsubstantiated claims in the FARA papers that the CIO paid the Canadian political consultancy firm, Tsvangirai actually conceded during the court proceedings that his party negotiated with Ben Menashe and agreed to pay him US$500 000 for his work. Quizzed on his contract with Menashe, Tsvangirai was recorded saying; “Well, Mr Menashe said he was going to do all his work and is going to spend a lot of time in the US and Canada and his fee was US$500 000.” It was also established in the same court that this money was actually paid to Dickens and Madison through a company called BSMG, who were the MDC’s political consultants and lobbyists in England.
To further absolve the CIO from the MDC’s shoddy deals with Dickens and Madson, Ari Ben Menashe acceded under cross examination that after realising that the MDC’s business proposal was criminal, as it was centred on assassinating President Mugabe and effecting a coup, he reported the matter to Canadian authorities and decided to set up Tsvangirai to record his criminal intentions.
Menashe was recorded saying that, “After they mentioned what they mentioned (the assassination of President Mugabe), the matter become a criminal matter, it had to be reported to the authorities. After the conversations we will proceed with the plan and the contract was signed the next day. The plan was to assassinate President Mugabe and do a coup de tat.”
It becomes mischievous therefore for a newspaper or FARA for that matter to suggest that Ben Menashe was impelled to set up Tsvangirai by the CIO when the easily accessible court records have proved otherwise.
Going through the court records, it becomes apparently clear that Tsvangirai freely solicited for criminal assistance from Dickens and Madson to assassinate the President hence it becomes hard to locate the alleged CIO hand in the treasonous transactions.
Knowing the West’s regime change designs towards Zimbabwe, it can safely be noted that the FARA papers, used to coin the story in the paper in question, are unquestionably fabricated propaganda material released to the media to set an electoral agenda in light of the impending elections in the country.
All the reference to the Tsvangirai treason trial is a façade to legitimise calls for electoral and security sector reforms in Zimbabwe. It is a clear case of agenda setting designed to accentuate regime change in Zimbabwe. It is a lame propaganda attempt to castrate the dextrous and vigilant security organisation.
As the vanguard of sovereignty and territorial integrity in Zimbabwe, the CIO is enviably viewed by the sanctions-backed MDC-T and its erstwhile handlers as an insurmountable stumbling block to their regime change designs hence the unsubstantiated media attacks. To further highlight the West’s regime change intentions, it would be helpful to revisit similar previous propaganda plots orchestrated by the imperialists against their supposed enemies.
History has fortunately shown us that the West has a defiled and mischievous track record of cooking up documents it uses to set up an imperial agenda against its supposed enemies. After the agenda is set, it is dramatically picked and ratcheted up by their loyal and vociferous media foot soldiers in the mould of CNN, BBC, SkyNews and the other so-called global media.
